Cedar Point To Honor 2020 Season Passes Through 2021

SANDUSKY, OH — Cedar Point will extend the use of 2020 season passes into 2021 due to the impact of the new coronavirus, park leaders said this week. Should the park reopen this year, the season pass will also be valid during this season.

In a letter to park guests, Jason McClure, the general manager of Cedar Point, said the park wants to ensure season passholders receive a "full season of fun." The park is currently closed because of COVID-19.

"Our season passholders represent some of our most loyal guests, and we want to ensure that you receive a full season of fun as promised when you purchased your 2020 Season Pass. Again, we thank you for your understanding and loyalty to Cedar Point," McClure said in a letter to guests.

Here's how the 2020 Season Pass will be used moving forward, according to McClure:

• 2020 season passes and 2020 season pass add-on products will be valid for the remainder of 2020 when the park is open
• The pass will also enjoy extended validity through the 2021 season, including 2020 season pass add-on products

In recent days, Gov. Mike DeWine has hinted at gradually reopening sectors of business in Ohio. He has also said COVID-19 may remain a threat for a year or longer, and could keep vulnerable populations away from crowds.

"As we all navigate these unprecedented circumstances, I want to thank you for your support of Cedar Point. We continue to monitor and follow local and national health directives while preparing to open our park as soon as it is safe to do so," McClure said. "We look forward to welcoming you back!"

There are currently more than 7,000 COVID-19 cases in Ohio and more than 320 Ohioans have died due to complications from the virus, according to the state health department.
